Latest for @BridgeDet313 on how the Senate race is playing out in Detroit ⤵️ I spoke with Abdul El-Sayed, community leaders, and experts about why he lost the city in the primary and how Detroit turnout could be pivotal in November: bridgedetroit.com/detroit-is…

Detroit is key to Abdul El-Sayed’s Senate bid. But he faces deep divides - BridgeDetroit

The margin of votes El-Sayed is able to secure in Detroit could be the deciding factor in whether he is able to defeat Mike Rogers.

BET Digital has permanently removed all its digital news articles from its website to 'prioritize video content,' I'm told. Years of news articles are now gone forever. Some writers were able to save their stories; some weren't

Check out Jasmine's first story for @BridgeDet313! "District 1 Commissioner Henrietta Ivey proposed the controversial motion at last week’s BOPC meeting to restrict public comment to in-person only as early as their next meeting on Sept. 3." bridgedetroit.com/detroiters…

Detroiters push back as police board weighs ending virtual comments

While city lawyers say the move does not violate the Open Meetings Act, many have raised transparency, accessibility and accountability concerns.

amazing deep dive today from @j_e_n_a_b / @BridgeDet313 on how downtown Detroit's growth has in part come at the expense of a neighborhood where the Morouns -- with help from city officials -- built a concrete facility that has coated the area in dust. Crown Enterprises now owns 160+ properties in Cadillac Heights, at I-75 and McNichols bridgedetroit.com/detroit-kr…

How a Moroun-owned concrete plant took over Detroit community

With the help of the city, a concrete plant moved into Cadillac Heights. Now its residents say pollution from the plant is driving them out.

^ By @j_e_n_a_b / @propublica / @BridgeDet313 Stories like this are so maddening. Now that the city is recovering, Detroiters who tended to it through its most brutal decades of disinvestment + drugs should be able exhale. Instead, more teardowns and pollution.

Transport company owns an international bridge, keeps fares from own company vehicles crossing bridge, can't build new bridge so they get into concrete businesses to help build competing new bridge, ruin neighborhood air quality in the process, block opening of new bridge. 👎

Dr. Cledie Collins Taylor, a legendary Detroit artist and educator, died at 100. I used @MIChronicle archives to tell a story that begins in her teens and follows a journey in desegregating the arts and elevating Black Detroit artists to the world’s stage: michiganchronicle.com/cledie…
